A review of the complexity approach to the study human (society)-nature interactions [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010
Traditional approach to the study of society-nature interactions based on reductionism and linear causality is no longer fully capable of explaining complex dynamics of integrated socio-economic and natural systems. For this reason demands for complexity

Systems Analysis of Coupled Natural and Human Processes in the Mekong River Basin

open access: yesHydrology, 2021
The Mekong River Basin is one of the world’s major transboundary basins. The hydrology, agriculture, ecology, and other watershed functions are constantly changing as a result of a variety of human activities carried out inside and by neighboring ...

Identifying opportunity hot spots for reducing the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in western US conifer forests

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
The escalating climate and wildfire crises have generated worldwide interest in using proactive forest management (e.g. forest thinning, prescribed fire, cultural burning) to mitigate the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in forests.

Hybrid Lake Model (HyLake) v1.0: unifying deep learning and physical principles for simulating lake-atmosphere interactions [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
Lake-atmosphere interactions play a critical role in Earth systems dynamics. However, accurately modelling key indicators of these interactions remains challenging due to their oversimplified physics in traditional process-based models or the limited ...

A cyclical wildfire pattern as the outcome of a coupled human natural system

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
AbstractOver the past decades, wildfire has imposed a considerable cost on natural resources and human lives. In many regions, annual wildfire trends show puzzling oscillatory patterns with increasing amplitudes for burned areas over time. This paper aims to examine the potential causes of such patterns by developing and examining a dynamic simulation ...
